Hello curlies! I've actually gotten so good with my CG adventures, that my own brother and sister asked me to do their hair and I did and they loved it very much! My only question is SOTC... Apparently, even when I'm gentle, it causes frizz in my own and in my siblings hair... they don't seem to notice it but I do and I'd like to have that "picture perfect" result that I see in other curlies... shiny and non-frizzy hair, essentially. I really hate it when I SOCT cause then I get flyaway frizz EVERYWHERE!

How do I not get frizzies when I SOCT? I use flax seed gel in my (and my siblings') hair. Should I buy a pomade, or..?

But several people on here have tried SOTC while wearing rubber gloves and say it's the best thing ever! I've yet to try it, but that's cheap and easy, so give it a shot!

I'll try it and see what happens, thank you!

I use a minute dab of conditioner or moisturizing styler in my hands - just enough that my palms aren't dry. My favorite is Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Smoothie.

I want to try Jane Carter's Nourish and Shine (I think that's the name) and it's a pomade to see if it'll melt the gel cast and leave my hair looking perfect, lol.
